Some of my reply did not go through,,

I was not refering to filtered accounts ( from either side) but what people were saying and doing and arguing about with increasing intensity begining well before the war began.

I imagine those books were well researched but as for their unimpeachable truth - I can't take your word on that. I can do my own research.

I am also opposed to such invasions. But where do you stand regarding the those practices in the antebellum south ?
Don't obfuscate.
